Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in the United States, and it is not just something to get over, as some would like to think. Even though many people say that anxious feelings are ‘just in your head,’ it is important to know that anxiety is a real illness and you can get treatment for it, along with many other mental health issues.
Nicknamed the “Lake City” due to the Acworth Beach on Lake Allatoona and Lake Acworth, this town is fond of water sports like boating, fishing, water skiing, and swimming. But, if you suffer from anxiety, going to the beach could be too much for you, much less getting out of bed or leaving the house. Consider contacting an Acworth area therapist so you can enjoy the outdoors and life again.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia for almost 30 years (since 1993) working in all areas of Mental Health. I’ve worked with foster-care families as well as with families who had children with various developmental disabilities. In addition, I have worked with geriatric clients residing in Assisted Living Facilities. In between these two populations, I have also worked in psychiatric hospitals, acute Mental Health outpatient facilities, Alcohol and Drug outpatient facilities as well as both jails and penitentiaries with clients who had both addictions and mental health issues ranging from Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Major Depressive Disorders, just to name a few. I have extensive experience working with clients with both relationship and self-esteem issues, along with being an Adjunct Professor of Psychology for twelve years. My approach to therapy is always “Client-Centered” which means that I meet you where you are and assist you in identifying your stuck points and your goals that YOU want to accomplish with therapy. Remember, this is your life and not mine, therefore only you know what is best for you! As your therapist, my role is simple and yet complex – to hold up a mirror and allow you to identify both your needs and wants and assist you in developing the best course of action for you to take with the least amount of resistance. By the way, I do give homework assignments and completion is critical to your therapeutic progress. Come – take my hand and let us walk and talk together for a little while, because there is indeed a bright and shiny light at the end of your tunnel!
